Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board

The complainant has requested information from the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board (‘the Health Board) regarding a specific service concern, the name of a specific member of staff and policy information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Health Board should have relied on section 40(1) of FOIA when refusing to provide the requested information as it was the requester’s own personal data. The Commissioner has applied this exemption himself, proactively to prevent disclosure under FOIA. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
